In the Realm of the Senses (Blu-ray)

Directed by Nagisa Oshima

In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no corrida) remains one of the most controversial and politically charged films ever produced. Directed by the boundary-pushing Japanese filmmaker Nagisa Oshima, the film recounts a true story of obsessive, destructive passion between a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) during a period of increasing imperialism and state repression in Japan.

Far more than mere provocation, the film is a bold examination of love, power, autonomy, and the political forces that seek to suppress human desire. Still censored in Japan, In the Realm of the Senses stands as a daring, taboo-shattering cinematic milestone.
